Quotes from CCKC 2002 letters received:

"I truly enjoyed the conference. It was a great beginning, and certainly gave us inspiration for future efforts." - Rosemary T. Swetland, Angelina College

"Thank you so much for your hard work organizing and implementing this exciting weekend. I don't know when I have had such an enriching experience, especially with regard to the interaction with colleagues and concerts."

"This event was superbly organized, professionally managed and executed with excellence. The sessions were pertinent and well presented, providing community college keyboard faculty and students the opportunity to interact with, learn from and share with their peers in a manner consistent with the principles and practice of keyboard pedagogy in an higher education setting. This was a refreshing improvement over the sessions many college keyboard faculty have encountered at other music conferences that often offer little more than adaptations of sessions more appropriate for K-12 faculty."

"I cannot adequately express the importance of this event for community college keyboard faculty throughout the state. Not only are opportunities of this type rare for faculty at any level, they are especially so for those in the community college setting." - Larry McCord, McLennan Community College and Navarro College
